In the case of Sharon, Palestinian civilians were killed, but as "collateral damage". You should be ashamed of yourself for lying. Or do you consider lying to be a virtue? <<< October 14, 2003 marked the 50th anniversary of a virtually forgotten massacre. In the Jordanian village of QIBYA, a total of 69 civilians were murdered during a six-hour killing spree that nearly destroyed the entire town. The attackers blew up about forty houses, a school, a water pumping station, a police station and telephone office, and yet they sustained no casualties, since QIBYA was virtually undefended. Of the first 42 bodies recovered after the attack, 38 were women and children. One man lost all 11 members of his family. Describing the scene, a UN observer stated that "bullet-riddled bodies near the doorways and multiple bullet hits on the doors of the demolished houses indicated that the inhabitants had been forced to remain inside until their homes were blown up over them." ... Sharon's orders explicitly called for "destruction and maximum killing." ... International condemnation was swift and unequivocal. The UN Security Council passed Resolution 101, specifically condemning the attack on QIBYA. On October 16th, the US State Department issued a statement expressing sympathy for the victims and urging that the persons responsible "should be brought to account." The National Jewish Post, in an October 30th editorial, wrote that "QIBYA was in effect another Lidice and no United States citizen who was living at the time of this detestable Nazi extermination of an entire village will forget the world's horror at that act." ... >>> electronicintifada.net counterpunch.org guardian.co.uk Tom
